By my counting, the fore Teletype machines outnumber the 390A of which I
only see one.

FWIW, the FFG-7 frigates were built about the same time as the Avondale
Fowler Fiasco. Every ship had an an R-390A installed. Somebody at Bath Iron
Works knew how to procure these receivers to meet the USN requirement.
Here are photos of the various ships under construction 1979-87. How many
R-390A receivers can you spot?
